E  1.  Hours  of  Service-

1  eight  (8)  hour  period  shall,  under  provisions  herein- 
set  out,  be  the  regular  work  day.  Regular  work  day 
vork  week  hours  shall  be  bulletined.  All  employees 
lg  under  the  provisions  of  this  agreement,  except  as 
wise  provided  in  this  schedule  of  rules,  or  as  may 
Iter  be  legally  established  between  the  carrier  and  the 
Dyees,  shall  be  paid  on  the  hourly  basis. 

3lishment  of  Shorter  Work  Week: 

OTE:  The  expressions  “positions”  and  “work”  refer 
to  service,  duties,  or  operations  necessary  to 
be  performed  the  specified  number  of  days  per 
week,  and  not  to  the  work  week  of  individual 
employees. 

)  General — This  carrier  will  establish,  effective  Sep- 
er  1,  1949,  for  all  employees  represented  by  the  organi- 
n  or  organizations  signatory  hereto,  subject  to  the  ex¬ 
ons  contained  in  this  rule,  a  work  week  of  40  hours, 
sting  of  five  days  of  eight  hours  each,  with  two  con- 
ive  days  off  in  each  seven;  the  work  weeks  may  be 
;ered  in  accordance  with  the  carrier’s  operational  re- 
ments;  so  far  as  practicable  the  days  off  shall  be  Satur- 
ind  Sunday.  The  foregoing  work  week  rule  is  subject 
e  provisions  which  follow: 

>)  Five-day  Positions — On  positions  the  duties  of 
h  can  reasonably  be  met  in  five  days,  the  days  off  will 
iturday  and  Sunday. 

)  Six-day  Positions — Where  the  nature  of  the  work 
3h  that  employees  will  be  needed  six  days  each  week, 
est  days  will  be  either  Saturday  and  Sunday  or  Sunday 
Monday. 

1)  Seven-day  Positions — On  positions  which  are  filled* 
l  days  per  week  any  two  consecutive  days  may  be  the 
days  with  the  presumption  in  favor  of  Saturday  and 
ay. 

;)  Regular  Relief  "Assignments — All  possible  regular 
f  assignments  with  five  days  of  work  and  two  consecu- 
rest  days  will  be  established  to  do  the  work  necessary 
3st  days  of  assignments  in  six  or  seven-day  service  or 

—  3  — 


combination  thereof,  or  to  perform  relief  work  on  ce  %' 
days  and  such  types  of  other  work  on  other  days  as  ms  e 
assigned  under  individual  agreements.  is 

Assignments  for  regular  relief  positions  may  on  diff(  ( 
days  include  different  starting  time,  duties  and  work 
tions  for  employees  of  the  same  class  in  the  same  seni<  vf 
district,  provided  they  take  the  starting  time,  duties  )B 
work  locations  of  the  employee  or  employees  whom 
are  relieving. 

(f)  Deviation  from  Monday-Friday  Week — If  in  je 

tions  or  work  extending  over  a  period  of  five  days  per  w  e 
an  operational  problem  arises  which  the  carrier  cont  gj 
cannot  be  met  under  the  provisions  of  paragraph  (b)  of  el 
rule,  and  requires  that  some  of  such  employees  work  1  r 
day  to  Saturday  instead  of  Monday  to  Friday,  and  the  , 
ployees  contend  the  contrary,  if  the  parties  fail  to  a  ( 
thereon,  and  the  carrier  nevertheless  puts  such  assignm  j 
into  effect,  the  dispute  may  be  processed  as  a  grievanc 
claim  under  the  rules  agreement. 

(g)  Nonconsecutive  Rest  Days — The  typical  work  v 
is  to  be  one  with  two  consecutive  days  off,  and  it  is 
carrier's  obligation  to  grant  this.  Therefore,  when  1 
operating  problem  is  met  which  may  affect  the  consecut 1 
ness  of  the  rest  days  of  positions  or  assignments  cove 
by  paragraphs  (c),  (d),  and  (e),  the  following  procec 
shall  be  used: 

(1)  All  possible  regular  relief  positions  shall 
established  pursuant  to  paragraph  (e)  of  this  rule. 

(2)  Possible  use  of  rest  days  other  than  Saturday  ; 
Sunday,  by  agreement  or  in  accordance  with  other  p 
visions  of  this  agreement. 

(3)  Efforts  will  be  made  by  the  parties  to  agree  on 
accumulation  of  rest  time  and  the  granting  of  longer  c 
secutive  rest  periods. 

(4)  Other  suitable  or  practicable  plans  which  may 
suggested  by  either  of  the  parties  shall  be  conside 
and  efforts  made  to  come  to  an  agreement  thereon.  , 

(5)  If  the  foregoing  does  not  solve  the  problem,  tl 
some  of  the  relief  men  may  be  given  nonconsecutive  r 
days. 

(6)  If  after  all  the  foregoing  has  been  done  there  s 
remains  service  which  can  only  be  performed  by  reqi 


—  4  — 


eet  employees  to  work  in  excess  of  five  days  per  week, 
28  p  number  of  regular  assignments  necessary  to  avoid 
s  may  be  made  with  two  nonconsecutive  days  off. 

f 1  (7)  The  least  desirable  solution  of  the  problem  would 
.  to  work  some  regular  employees  on  the  sixth  or 
^enth  days  at  overtime  rates  and  thus  withhold  work 
es  m  additional  relief  men. 


i 


(8)  If  the  parties  are  in  disagreement  over  the  neces- 
y  of  splitting  the  rest  days  on  any  such  assignments, 

1  b  carrier  may  nevertheless  put  the  assignments  into 

*  ect  subject  to  the  right  of  employees  to  process  the 
j  pute  as  a  grievance  or  claim  under  the  rules  agree- 
}‘  nts,  and  in  such  proceedings  the  burden  will  be  on  the 

*  'rier  to  prove  that  its  operational  requirements  would 
ie  impaired  if  it  did  not  split  the  rest  days  in  question 
a  i  that  this  could  be  avoided  only  by  working  certain 
mtployees  in  excess  of  five  days  a  week.

furloughed  men  may  be  utilized  under  applicable

‘  en  consecutive  days  starting  with  Monday.

On  the  other  hand,  a  rigid  adherence  to  the  precise 
’n  that  may  be  in  effect  immediately  prior  to  Sep- 
)  ;r  1,  1949  with  regard  to  the  amount  of  Sunday  work 
e  nay  be  necessary  is  not  required.  Changes  in  amount 
ture  of  traffic  or  business  and  seasonal  fluctuations 
tli  be  taken  into  account.  This  is  not  to  be  taken  to 
r  however,  that  types  of  work  which  have  not  been 
id  on  Sundays  will  hereafter  be  assigned  on  Sunday.
